The 15-track Next, released Oct. 11 on Interscope/ICLG, opens with 10,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. for the tracking week of the Oct. 11-17, according to Luminate.
Trending on Billboard
Of Next’s first-week total, streaming activity contributes 9,000 units, equal to 13.5 million official on-demand U.S. streams for the album’s songs. Meanwhile, 1,000 units come from traditional album sales, with the remaining negligible amount through track-equivalent units.
Top Latin Albums and Regional Mexican Albums rank the week’s most popular Latin albums, and regional Mexican albums, respectively, by multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units. Each unit equals one album sale, 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams for a song on the album.
Next gives Xavi his first top 10 on any albums chart, after placing eight songs on Hot Latin Songs — which blends airplay, streaming data and digital sales — and five on the overall Latin Airplay chart.
The 20-year-old, and first-time Billboard Latin Music Award winner as Artist of the year, new, in 2024, previewed Next with five songs, three of which hit the top 10 on the multimetric tally, including the No. 2-peaking “La Víctima” (Feb. 24), “La Diabla,” which dominated for 14 weeks — tying with Karol G’s “Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido” and FloyyMenor and Cris Mj’s “Gata Only” for the most weeks at No. 1 in 2024 — and the No. 3-peaking “Corazón de Piedra”(April 13).
The album includes three total collabs: “Modo DND” with Tony Aguirre (No. 21 peak on Hot Latin Songs in January), Los Dareyes de La Sierra come in for “Poco a Poco” (No. 16 on February), and Fabio Capri, Xavi’s brother, joins on “Tu Casi Algo.”
One other song makes progress on Hot Latin Songs: “Flores” moves 48-43 with 3 million audience impressions, up 3%. The song also jumps 15-13 on Regional Mexican Airplay.

The 50-position Top Streaming Albums chart ranks the most-streamed albums of the week in the U.S., as compiled by Luminate. Titles are ranked by streaming equivalent album (SEA) units, where each SEA unit equals 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. If an artist has multiple albums containing the same song, SEA units for that song are generally assigned to whichever album sells the most by traditional album sales in a given week.

Last Lap debuts at No. 1 with 125,000 SEA units earned. That sum equates to 173.35 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs, marking the third-biggest debut streaming week for a rap album in 2024. The two largest debut rap frames were logged by Future and Metro Boomin’s collaborative set We Don’t Trust You (324.31 million) and Eminem’s The Death of Slim Shade (Coup de Grâce) (220.08 million).
Sabrina Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet falls a spot to No. 2 (70,000 SEA units; down 11%) after six nonconsecutive weeks atop the list.
Charli XCX’s Brat bounds 17-3, a new peak, with 57,000 SEA units (up 144%) after the album was reissued twice in during the week ending Oct. 17.
On Oct. 11, the original album’s tracklist was joined by 16 remixes of its songs in a deluxe edition (dubbed Brat and It’s Completely Different But Also Still Brat), and those remixes included such guests as The 1975 and Ariana Grande. Then, on Oct. 14, the deluxe was plussed-up with one more remix, a redux of “Spring Breakers” featuring Kesha. All versions of Brat, new and old, are combined for tracking and charting purposes. Brat’s 57,000 SEA units equate to 73.63 million on-demand official streams of its songs – the album’s best week yet, and Charli XCX’s biggest streaming week for any album.
GloRilla’s new Glorious debuts at No. 4 on Top Streaming Albums with 56,000 SEA units (equaling 77.98 million on-demand official streams of its songs). Both figures represent career-highs for the artist, and the biggest weeks for any rap album by a female artist in 2024. Glorious is also the highest charting rap album by a woman on Top Streaming Albums this year.
BigXthaPlug’s Take Care starts at No. 5 on Top Streaming Albums with 47,000 SEA units (equaling 62.77 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs).

“Soltera” lands at the penthouse on Latin Airplay after registering 6.3 million audience impressions for the tracking week ending Oct. 17, according to Luminate. That sum equates to a 63% improvement in radio airplay from the previous period, which yields a Greatest Gainer award for the week.

“Soltera” also makes additional confident rounds across Billboard charts. It enters the top 10 on the multi-metric Hot Latin Songs, rising 13-9, with gains in sales and streams. The song generated 4.3 million official U.S. streams, according to Luminate, enough to yield a No. 15 high on Latin Streaming Songs. Sales, meanwhile, account for nearly 1,000 U.S. downloads, which translates to a 3-2 climb after it topped Latin Digital Song Sales for one week (Oct. 12).
Globally, “Soltera” rises 71-28 on Billboard Global 200 with 37.1 millions streams worldwide, and 48-16 on the Global Excl. U.S. tally with 33.2 million streams outside the U.S., her best ranking on the latter since the No. 8-peaking “Acróstico” in June 2023.

It comes after the singing legend announced the North American leg of her tour in support of the new album, which is slated to kick off on March 29 with a gig at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto and take the “Lights Camera Action” singer to Montreal, Chicago, New York, Washington, D.C., Boston, Atlanta, Orlando, Miami, Austin, Phoenix, San Francisco, Seattle, Vancouver and Denver before winding down with a May 2 show at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.

Another exciting new entry comes from Australian dance group Confidence Man, whose third record 3AM (LA LA LA) (via HAOS/Polydor Records/I OH YOU Records) is eyeing a Top 5 debut. The band’s infectious sound is already a festival favorite, and their climb to No. 4 on the midweek charts suggests they could make their Official Albums Chart debut in a major way.

Streams and sales of music from One Direction and Liam Payne surged both in the U.S. and globally following Payne’s Oct. 16 death in Buenos Aires, as listeners flocked to both the late 31-year-old’s solo material and the influential boyband in which he starred.

The act – Payne, Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson – formed in 2010 and went on hiatus in 2016, after Malik left in 2015. Four of its full-lengths hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200, with its last reaching No. 2.
Globally, One Direction pulled 21.3 million streams on Oct. 16, a 76% gain from 12.1 million on Oct. 15. The group’s catalog soared 298% to 84.9 million streams on Oct. 17.

In the four days (Oct. 16-19) following Payne’s death, One Direction’s catalog accumulated 62.9 million streams in the U.S., a 675% gain over 8.2 million Oct. 12-15. Worldwide, the total was 254 million Oct. 16-19, up 442% over 46.9 million Oct. 12-15. Payne’s solo material drew 3.3 million streams in the U.S. Oct. 16-19, up 858% from 354,000, and 13.4 million globally, up 1,038% from 1.2 million.
Leading the way: “Night Changes,” a No. 31 hit for One Direction on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2014. The song drew 4.9 million U.S. streams Oct. 16-19 (including 556,000 on Oct. 16 and 1.5 million on Oct. 17), up 416% from 945,000 Oct. 12-15. Globally, the song received 24.5 million streams, up 220% from 7.7 million, during the same periods.
As a result, the track reenters both the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart (No. 95) and the Billboard Global 200 (No. 117), both dated Oct. 26.
In terms of volume of streams, One Direction’s “Story of My Life” follows. The No. 6 Hot 100 hit in 2013 garnered 4.8 million U.S. streams Oct. 16-19 (up 482% from 817,000 Oct. 12-15) and 22 million globally (up 426% from 4.2 million).
Payne’s top solo streamer was his lone Hot 100 top 10: “Strip That Down” (featuring Quavo), which hit No. 10 in 2017. It earned 2 million streams Oct. 16-19, up 593% from 291,000 Oct. 12-15. Globally, its numbers were 6.5 million Oct. 16-19, a 681% surge from 831,000 Oct. 12-15. “Teardrops,” released earlier this year, followed (430,000 U.S. streams, 2.2 million globally).
Song download sales of One Direction’s catalog totaled 6,000 Oct. 16-19, up 1,124% from a negligible amount Oct. 12-15.
Billboard’s LyricFind U.S. and LyricFind Global charts dated Oct. 26 feature multiple One Direction songs, led by “Little Things” on the U.S. ranking and “Story of My Life” on the Global survey.

Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ “Die With a Smile” rules both the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts for an eighth week.
The ballad now solely claims the longest Global 200 reign this year, surpassing the seven weeks that Benson Boone’s “Beautiful Things” posted at No. 1 in February-April. It also equals the longest Global Excl. U.S. command in 2024, tying the eight-week stays for “Beautiful Things” (February-April) and Sabrina Carpenter’s “Espresso” (May-July).
Plus, Jennie’s “Mantra” debuts at Nos. 2 and 3 on Global Excl. U.S. and the Global 200, respectively. It marks the BLACKPINK member’s fourth solo top 10 on the former and her third on the latter.
The Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. charts, which began in September 2020, rank songs based on streaming and sales activity culled from more than 200 territories around the world, as compiled by Luminate. The Global 200 is inclusive of worldwide data and the Global Excl. U.S. chart comprises data from territories excluding the United States.

Chart ranks are based on a weighted formula incorporating official-only streams on both subscription and ad-supported tiers of audio and video music services, as well as download sales, the latter of which reflect purchases from full-service digital music retailers from around the world, with sales from direct-to-consumer (D2C) sites excluded from the charts’ calculations.
“Die With a Smile” leads the Global 200 with 110.3 million streams and 8,000 sold (down 5% week-over-week in each metric) worldwide Oct. 11-17. The song, which became Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ first No. 1 each since the chart began, has drawn over 100 million streams globally in each of the last seven weeks, the most such frames in a row since Miley Cyrus’ “Flowers” also linked seven triple-digit weeks from its chart start in January 2023.
Billie Eilish’s “Birds of a Feather” holds at No. 2 on the Global 200, following three weeks at No. 1 beginning in August.
Jennie’s “Mantra” debuts at No. 3 on the Global 200 with 74.9 million streams and 15,000 sold worldwide in the first full week following its Oct. 10 arrival. The BLACKPINK member adds her third solo top 10 on the chart; the group has collected four top 10s, while fellow members LISA (three top 10s), Jisoo and Rosé (one each) have also hit the tier as soloists.
Rounding out the Global 200’s top five, Carpenter’s “Espresso” holds at No. 4, following three nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1 beginning in June, and her “Taste” drops 3-5, after reaching No. 2.
“Die With a Smile” tops Global Excl. U.S. with 89.7 million streams (down 4%) and 4,000 sold (down 7%) outside the U.S. Oct. 11-17. As on the Global 200, the ballad became Gaga and Mars’ first No. 1 each since the survey launched.
Jennie’s “Mantra” enters Global Excl. U.S. at No. 2 with 69 million streams and 12,000 sold outside the U.S. Oct. 11-17. She adds her fourth solo top 10 on the chart — matching the four top 10s that BLACKPINK and the group’s LISA as a soloist have each notched; Jisoo and Rosé boast one solo top 10 apiece.
Eilish’s “Birds of a Feather” dips 2-3 on Global Excl. U.S., following three weeks at No. 1 beginning in August; Carpenter’s “Espresso” descends 3-4; and Karol G’s “Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido” falls 4-5, after reaching No. 2.
Plus, Carpenter’s “Taste” ranks at No. 6 on Global Excl.

Beautifully Broken additionally achieves the third-largest week, by units, for any country album in 2024, following the debut frames of Beyoncé and Post Malone’s premiere country sets. In total, Jelly Roll scores the fifth country album to lead the all-genre Billboard 200 in 2024 – the most in a year since 2014, when there were also five. (Country albums are defined as those that are eligible for, or have charted on, Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart.)
Elsewhere in the top 10 of the latest Billboard 200, Rod Wave secures his seventh consecutive top 10 – the entirety of his charting efforts – as Last Lap debuts at No. 2, Charli XCX’s Brat bounds 14-3 (matching its debut and peak rank) after a deluxe reissue, GloRilla lands her first top 10 with the No. 5 bow of Glorious, and BigXthaPlug notches his first top 10 with the No. 8 arrival of Take Care.
The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new Oct. 26, 2024-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on Tuesday, Oct. 22. For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X, formerly known as Twitter, and Instagram.
Of Beautifully Broken’s 161,000 equivalent album units earned in its first week, album sales comprise 114,000; SEA units comprise 44,000 (equaling 58.86 million on-demand official streams of the 28 songs on its streaming edition); and TEA units comprise 3,000. The album was issued as a 14-track standard release (on CD, vinyl and cassette), a 22-track expanded album (as a digital download and streaming set), a 27-track deluxe edition (sold as a download in Jelly Roll’s official webstore) and a 28-track deluxe album (dubbed Beautifully Broken [Pickin’ Up the Pieces], widely available as a digital download and streaming set).
The album’s opening week sales were bolstered by its availability across seven vinyl variants, three CD variants (the CDs sold a combined 65,000, including a signed edition sold through the artist’s webstore), a cassette tape and three download album variants (the downloads sold 32,000). Net profits from pre-orders of the CD and vinyl in his webstore benefitted four charity organizations: Folds of Honor, National Alliance on Mental Illness, Shatterproof and Wounded Warriors.
Beautifully Broken was preceded by a trio of charting songs on the Billboard Hot 100: “I Am Not Okay,” “Lonely Road” (with MGK) and “Liar.” They are three of Jelly Roll’s nine songs to debut on the Hot 100 in 2024 – the others include collaborations with the likes of Eminem, Post Malone and Falling in Reverse.
Rod Wave lands his seventh top 10-charting album on the Billboard 200 – the entirety of his charting efforts – as Last Lap bows at No. 2 with 127,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, SEA units comprise 125,000 (equaling 173.35 million on-demand official streams of the set’s 23 songs; it’s No. 1 on Top Streaming Albums), album sales comprise 2,000 and TEA units comprise a negligible sum.
Last Lap was previewed by a pair of Hot 100-charting songs: “Passport Junkie” and “Fall Fast In Love.”
Wave has logged at least one Billboard 200 top 10 every year since 2019, beginning with his first charting set, Ghetto Gospel (No. 10, 2019) and continuing on with Pray 4 Love (No. 2, 2020), SoulFly (No. 1, 2021), Beautiful Mind (No. 1, 2022), Jupiter’s Diary: 7 Day Theory (No. 9, 2022), Nostalgia (No. 1, 2023) and Last Lap (No. 2, 2024). The only other act with at least one new top 10 in every year over 2019-24 is Taylor Swift.
Charli XCX’s Brat bounds 14-3, matching its debut rank and peak position, following the album’s deluxe reissue on Oct. 11. It earned 105,000 equivalent album units in the week ending Oct. 17 – the set’s biggest week yet. Of that sum, SEA units comprise 57,000 (equaling 73.63 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs), album sales comprise 48,000 and TEA units comprise less than 1,000.
Brat was originally released on June 7 as a 15-song standard album. It was reissued in a deluxe form on June 10 with three bonus songs, dubbed Brat and it’s the same but there’s three more songs so it’s not. After its first tracking week, Brat (with both versions combined for charting and tracking purposes) debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 (dated June 22).
On Oct. 11, the album was reissued in a 34-track super deluxe form (named Brat and it’s completely different but also still brat), containing the original album’s 15 songs, the three bonus cuts added on June 10, and then 16 remixes of the set’s tracks featuring a star-studded guest list (including The 1975, Bon Iver, Billie Eilish, Ariana Grande, Lorde and many more).
